NOL9 (Polynucleotide 5'-hydroxyl-kinase NOL9) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. The public catalogues list it as a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Polynucleotide kinase that can phosphorylate the 5'-hydroxyl groups of single-stranded and double-stranded RNA and DNA substrates. Involved in rRNA processing and its kinase activity is required for the processing of the 32S precursor into 5.8S and 28S rRNAs, more specifically for the generation of the major 5.8S(S) form. Required for the efficient pre-rRNA processing of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2).
CIViC holds 1 clinical evidence item and 0 assertions across 1 variant.

No product in this corpus aims at NOL9 yet. Kinases are switched on by binding ATP inside the cell, so most drugs are small molecules shaped to plug that ATP pocket.
Broadly expressed or essential: HPA lists NOL9 among essential proteins and finds the RNA at low tissue specificity; a medicine acting on the wild-type protein would expose normal tissue too. HPA NOL9: RNA low tissue specificity; no normal tissue stained high. Distribution: 1 cancer family in the corpus carries a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Lymphoma); Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (Rule 7 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)

Involved in rRNA processing and its kinase activity is required for the processing of the 32S precursor into 5.8S and 28S rRNAs, more specifically for the generation of the major 5.8S(S) form. Required for the efficient pre-rRNA processing of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2). Associates with LAS1L to form an ITS2 pre-rRNA endonuclease-kinase complex and is responsible for the transport of this complex into the nucleolus. Location: Nucleus; Nucleus, nucleolus (UniProt). Locus 1p36.31 (HGNC).
RNA: low tissue specificity, detected in all normal tissues.
No normal tissue stained high.
No cancer sample stained medium or high.
